Background: Early diagnosis, early treatment and long-term follow-up in paediatric patients with Lichen Sclerosus (LS) are mandatory to avoid complications such as urethral meatal stenosis.
Methods: All patients older than five years who underwent circumcision from January 2015 to December 2021 at our centre with positive histology for LS were included. Demographic, preoperative, surgical and postoperative data were analysed.
Dung beetles mostly feed on mammal dung. Throughout the European Alps, the dung produced by local domestic ungulates attracts many species of dung beetles, giving rise to rich and diversified communities that play an important role in the Alpine agricultural ecosystem. There is, therefore, understandable concern about the introduction of exotic livestock, such as alpacas ( (Linnaeus, 1758)), into the region.

- Disk battery ingestion in children can cause serious health issues and even death, prompting a study about effective management practices.
- The research involved analyzing cases from June 2010 to January 2024, using a set protocol that includes specialized scans and a team of various medical experts for treatment.
- The study treated 22 patients, all of whom survived, thanks to the established protocol, but some required additional surgeries due to complications; the findings emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for better patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the preparation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanocomposites using PMMA-co-MAA to analyze macromolecular mobility and H-bonding effects.
- Dynamic mechanical analysis and dielectric spectroscopy revealed that adding CNFs slowed down relaxation processes despite similar transition temperatures.
- The introduction of CNFs also resulted in a new β'-relaxation linked to interactions between CNF and matrix groups, while the activation energy for γ-relaxation increased significantly, suggesting CNFs hindered mobility in the polymer chain.
In the last decade, haynets and slow feeders have been promoted as sustainable tools to improve the feeding management of horses and reduce forage waste, but little is known about their effects on ponies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the effects of different hay feeding methods on the ingestive behaviors, intake rate and mouth shaping of ponies belonging to two breed types, which are characterized by different head morphologies. Shetland type (SH, = 5) and Welsh/Cob type (WC, = 4) ponies were fed hay using four feeding methods: on the ground (G), a fully filled haynet (HF), a partially filled haynet (HL), and a slow-feeder hay box (HB).
